USEFUL TERMS TERMINOLOGY (for more in-depth glossary, please refer to this great resource list at https://www.artnet.com/auctions/glossary After: A work of art or object made in the style of an artist or maker, but not by the artist. Sometimes refers to bronzes or other multiples that may have used an artist?s mold or plate, but were reproduced by someone other than the artist. Can also be used to describe a direct reproduction after an original work of art. Attributed (attr.): In our opinion, probably or possibly a work of art by the artist or maker, but either unsigned, unmarked and/or lacking adequate provenance or agreement by experts in the field. Bears the Signature: The work is signed, but the work and signature may not be by the hand of the artist. Condition: Any visible condition problems, flaws, or damage to the piece.

Medium: The material/materials an artist utilized in creating a work of art, such as oil paint, acrylic or bronze. The material that a work was created on, such as canvas or wood, is also considered part of the medium. For example, one might say that the medium of an oil painting is "oil on canvas."
